genius, wonderfully correct in her
delineation of Creole character, and
patois is the most natural ever put in

authors of the South are among the

M. G. M'Clelland ranks prominently
in the list, and there are, besides, Mrs.
M. Shelley Peters, whose dialect-sto-
ries have proved so successful, Mrs.
Emma Garrison Jones, Miss Alice
Maud Ewell, and others. This fact is
naturally of special interest in our
section of the country, and we have a
right to feel proud of the rapidly
growing prominence which Southern
writers are claiming in the literature
of the land. There Is scarcely an
American author who, during the past
ten years, has achieved marked cele-
brity at home or in England, but be-
longs to the South, and it is only Just
to " Peterson" to admit that its col

Southern writers to notice than any

PATRIOTISM.

Protean selfshness puts on no guise
More apt than patriotism to blind our eyes.
Shall Briton, Frenchman, Russ, American
Glory in things that would disgrace man?
Set your own country foremost; work for her:
Hers to all private interests prefer;
But never dream that violence and fraud
In her name turn to praise and nobleness;
That lies are bad at home but good abroad;
That honor and fair dealing have bound
Mark'd on the map; that any right can prove
Wrong to another, or make right less
And, after oil this, recollect there's love.
Love one another" yea. Lord; look around
After all this there's love-nay love comes first.
Else our pretended virtues are the worst
OF all the evils wherewith life is curst.

out his patriotic eloquence without being
shaken by disappearing sneer. His self
confidence was soon highly developed. He
felt equal to speaking before the selected
brains of the world. At last the day came on
which he was to deliver to an audience of
men and women the speech SO often rehearsed
before the cabbages. He stepped forth and
was greeted with rousing cheers. They be-
Ieved in encouraging oratorical talent in
that town. He bowed, and they cheered
again. He opened his mouth, but no sound
came forth. His tongue was parched like a
clay road after o long drought. A sensation
the like Of which he had never felt before
took possession of him Self confidence fed,
and abject fear took its place. At last he
managed to huslsily articulate: ladies and
gentlemen, 4 see you are not cabbage heads,n
and sat down, and none but the cabbages in
the garden could tell the world what it had
lost in losing that speech, and they have been
silent to this day.
And yet another hoary chestnut strides
forth from the honored past. 1t. too, owes
its existence to the Fourth Of July speech
maker. He was young man who began by
saying: ladies and gentlemen: Forty years
ago this spot was an unbroken wilderness
The wolf howled and the bear growled where
we to-day stand"
He paused, and his hearers applauded.
Then he went on:
"Forty years ago not stick Of timber had
been cut from these broad acres"
Another pause, which was unrelieved by
any marks of appreciation on the part of the
audience. He continued:
"As said, forty years ago thousands Of
trees were standing on the broad acres about
observation-disclosures wish with all my heart
they were standing there yet" And thus
began and ended his Fourth Of July address;
and here endeth the chapter on the chestnuts

EYES ANALYZEO.

The Qualities of Temperament Which
should Go with the Brown. Black and
Blue.
Speaking popularity, we may say that
eyes are brown, blue, gray, hazel,
black, green or of no color at all. The
last three varieties, however, are based
on misnomer. Speaking generally
again, we may say that blue eyes take
care of their friends, brown of their
enemies, gray of their countries. black
of their pleasures and green of them
selves. The blue is certainly the type
with the greatest number of varieties.
1t is q color that illustrates pre-
eminently the feminine qualities-ten-
derness, affection. a yielding to the
wishes of others, sympathy with
small sufferings, that measure of van
ity without which no woman can De

THE MARRIED STATE.
One OF the strongest Incentives to Activ-
ity, Virtue and Success

One OF the Strongest Incentives to Activ-
ity, Virtue and Success
1t is undoubtedly true that a single
life is not without its advantages for
some. There are hundreds of young
men, as there are young women. to
whom a married life would be unsuta-
BILE and unwise. 1t is an inexcusabe
sin for any young man of hereditary
ill-health or deformity to assume mar
riage, and to such one single life has
advantages, even though it holds out
few pleasures. But that young man
who is possessed with every bodily and
mental equipment, and marries not,
fails in one of the most palpable duties
of life. He deprives himself of life's
most refined and exalted pleasures, of
some of the strongest incentives to Writ
ne and activity, and sets an example
unworthy of imitation. Nothing has,
or should have, greater refining and
moralizing influence on young man
than marriage. If he remains unmar-
ried. he lays himself open to alluring
vices that have no place in his eye or
mind when his attentions and affec-
tons are centered upon devoted wife.
Marriage changes the current of a
mans feeling, and gives him center
for his thoughts, his affections and his
acts. 1t renders him more virtuous,
more wise, ana is an incentive to put
forth his best exertions to attain posi-
ton in commercial and social circles.
1t is conceded that marriage will in
crease the cares of young man which
he would not encounter if he remained
single, but it must be granted, on the
other hand, that it heightens the pleas
ures of life. If marriage, in some in
stances without knowledge, has seemed
| to be but hindrance TO certain success,
the many instances must not be for
gotten where it has proved to be the
incentive which has called forth the
best part of mans nature, reused him
from selfish apathy, and inspired in
him those generous principles and high
resolves which have helped to develop
him into a character known, loved and
honored by all within the sphere of its
influence. Matrimony, it is true. is
chargeable with numberless solicitudes
and responsibilities, and this all young
men should fully understand before en-
tering upon it; but it is also full of JOY
and happiness that is unknown to the
bachelor. Brooklun MAGAZINE.

render which goes far to persuade
man that he is demigod because his
wife believes it and tells him so. The
color seems to be getting more rare in
these days. This is the blue that goes
with golden hair. Blue eyes must be
mated with their appropriate COM
plexion. That color, so fascinating in
a blonde, is no less delightful in
brunette; but-say the scientists-its
meaning is now altered. There comes
in now, coupled with the affectionate
qualities. certain tendency to de-
ceive, stimulated by an ambition for
conquet and leading to the gratifica-
ton of admiration. There remain the
light blue and the violet. The first is
the eye of the Northern races-of the
Swedes and the Danes, of the Scotch
sometimes also. Itsuggests constancy
and truth. steadfastness, simplicity,
courage, purpose. 1t Is a mans eye,
with its moderation and self-respect--
honest in the glance it gives you, if
at the same time rather cold and phleg-
matte. And then there is the violet
eye, which is a woman's eye, and of
which the main characteristics are af-
lection and purity, chivalric belief and
limited or deficient intellectually.
And now come the brown eyes. They
are the eyes of the South and the East
of the sunny races; of the most pas
sionate and the least original, and to
them belong the lustrous black hair
and the olive complexion of skin. With
them we get jealousy and cruelty, some
what of the feline nature in women;
and in men, courage coupled with
superstition, a wild recklessness of life,
and a disregard for the suferings of
others. But the type has altered through
infinite notifications; and there are
brown eyes in plenty who have moth
ing in common with the passionate
qualities of the South. This may gen.
orally be predicted: That when the
brown is light the disposition is affec-
tomato but wayward, and as that brown
darkens you pass from affection to
passion.
Last comes the hazel eyes, which
are more frequent in novels than in
life. No two people seem quite agreed
as to the definition of the color, and
the reference to hazel nut, which
starts by being green. and passe;
through yellow to brown, confusingly
illustrates every theory. A blue-gray
radiated from within with brown ant
bronze streaks seems to come neares
the general view. Adopting this as thu
color, it will be seen that they are
chiefly found among the mixed races
and especially the English and the
Americans. They always suggest good
deal of strength of character, general
ly sense of mischief and thickness
